By running with you, their DPS contributes to the FATE being over quicker, so if they leave you behind not only it sucks because you have to finish farming alone but on top of that it'll be slower too... when my friend needed his last green demiatma, I kept my map open and kept an eye out for any FATEs or CEs that dropped the one he needed, and would taxi us there until he was able to get them all. I know he would have done the same for me.



EDIT: They're also not "suffering" for free, mind you... they still get rewards for participating in a FATE or CE, in or out of Occult Crescent. But I've also farmed duties and FATEs I need nothing from just to help. My friends have done the same for me, because hanging out is also a reward in its own way. I'm not saying your friend must suffer for you, but I am saying it's not a particularly strange thing to see. What the user you're responding to said is nothing odd from my perspective.
I'd kill for friends like you in 14. Seriously everyone I've met lately has been out for themselves first. Which is why this has been such hell for me to do it. I've been entirely solo. Even in a group nobody wants to chit chat they don't know you so it's just been rough. And like you, if I were done and you needed one I'd help you and I think FATEs are the worst piece of content in this game and I'd still help a friend get their last one or last 5. I wouldn't care. It's just been so anti-social on my social front if you follow me. This is making this grind torture.
